Contact for donations: Julie Ekstrom

The Cloth Diaper Foundation Fundraising Committee is in process of planning The Green Mama Benefit Auction, a fundraiser on Hyena Cart, set to begin on April 22nd—Earth Day.

The Cloth Diaper Foundation, formally Miracle Diapers, gives needy families cloth diapers and assists them with building their own cloth diaper stashes. They helped over 450 babies last year alone!

The auction will celebrate moms and Earth Day and we are looking for both mom and baby products. Would you be willing to donate an item, help a good cause and spread the word about your products and business?

We will be advertising through all of our social networking channels, on our website, through many natural family networks and will also be pairing donated products with a blogger who will write a feature about that item and your business.

Let me know if you have any questions, are interested in donating an item or helping The Cloth Diaper Foundation Auction in any way!

If you are interested in participating please contact Julie Ekstrom before March 26. Our deadline for completion is April 11 if you are planning on making a one of a kind item.

Thank you for your consideration.

Best,

Beth Flumignan, Cheeky Diapers
The Cloth Diaper Foundation Committee Chair

Miracle Diapers Is Now The Cloth Diaper Foundatin

empowering families, improving the environment

As Miracle Diapers has grown so has the number of families they assist. In 2009, they helped over 450 babies directly, more than 100 babies through sponsorship and local distribution, and assisted other charities with the same mission as well!

To better serve those families Miracle Diapers reaccessed it's structure and practices. They have:

• New leadership with Roxanna Jolly—CEO and Lisa Johnston—Operations Manager and Board

Chair

• Relocated their headquarters to Katy, Texas

• Restructured how they process and accept applications

• Opened a retail store for fundraising

• Founded a new membership program

• Welcomed several new board members from the cloth diapering industry

In it's fifth year Miracle Diapers wants to continue moving forward and has decided to take on a new name that better describes the organization and it's mission.

Miracle Diapers is now The Cloth Diaper Foundation.

“We felt that a more appropriate name would help the community have a better understanding of who we are, as we have often been mistaken for a diaper manufacturer. Our desire to move forward and build a legacy of support for the cloth diapering community will be reflected in our new name: The Cloth Diaper Foundation.”

-Roxanna Jolly, CEO, The Cloth Diaper Foundation

To assist in fund raising efforts, in the month of February, Tracy Whittemore and Lisa Adkins from The Cloth Diaper Company have so graciously offered to match, product for product, each Cloth Diaper Company product sold (Drybees, Wahmies, Rocky Mountain Diapers) in The Cloth Diaper Foundation Retail Store with an equal donation to our organization. (Example – Purchase a Rocky Mountain Diapers OS Pocket, CDC will donate our organization a RMD OS Pocket, Drybees for Drybees, etc.)

Monetary donations fell last year do to the economy. Which means there are more families out there for The Cloth Diaper Foundation to help! While diaper donations are always appreciated, we must be able to financially support organizational growth. Let's make this happen together and spread the CD love.
